Incorporating language, ready-mades, broken glass, film, performance, and other elements, Kendell Geers creates work that disrupts social norms and codes. Employing a wide range of references-from art history to pornography, iconography to kitsch-Geers questions the value of aesthetics and thumbs his nose at the concept of originality.

Born 1977 in Baia Mare, Romania. Lives and works in Cluj and Berlin.

I was following Matte’s art since 2009, and I have to say I am still amazed and amused every time he’s showing a new painting. They have all the jazz and coffee, and you can admire a few selections right here:
